# KEDA event-driven autoscaling visibility

> See KEDA in Radar: ScaledObject-to-workload topology edges showing which Deployments, StatefulSets, and Rollouts KEDA scales, with live status.

[KEDA](https://keda.sh/) (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) is a CNCF graduated project that scales workloads based on external event sources  -  queues, streams, cron schedules, Prometheus metrics, and 60+ other triggers.

### What Radar Shows

**Topology:** ScaledObject → target workload (Deployment, StatefulSet, or Rollout). See which workloads are managed by KEDA and trace the scaling relationship.

**ScaledObject Detail View:**

* Status conditions (Ready, Active, Paused, Fallback)
* Target workload reference
* Min/Max/Idle replica configuration
* Polling interval and cooldown period
* Trigger list with type and metadata
* Generated HPA name
* Pause state detection (supports all 3 annotation variants)

* Scaling strategy (default, custom, accurate, eager)
* Success/failure limits
* Trigger list

**TriggerAuthentication Detail View:**

* Pod identity provider and configuration

**Resource Browser:** Smart columns show status, target workload, trigger count, and replica range at a glance.
